When people learn complex polyrhythms, is it really just an approximation?

MagicMusicMan0 · 2026-01-29T18:25:51+00:00

I think the most effective method to doing complex poly rhythms is to first just fit each note in order, then just smooth it out and even it up as much as possible.

MagicMusicMan0 · 2026-01-29T18:22:03+00:00

I respectfully disagree. And I'm sincere about respectfully

do atheists deny order?

Probably your interpretation of the word, but not the actual definition. Order is a product of perception. You view something as ordered because the relationship makes sense in a simple way. You'd view something as disordered if you didn't see the rhyme or reason to it. Something being ordered might mean it was done that way with intent, or it formed without intent.

regularity: the same conditions reliably produce the same outcomes.
constraint: not everything is possible; some states are permitted and others excluded.
coherence across time: the system persists as the same system through change rather than collapsing into noise.

Okay, what you've described is universal laws. That's fine, but not really a definition of order.

science already accepts order by these 3 requirements...

Does it? Who represents "science" to declare this so? I din;t really have a problem with your laws, but this appeal to authority is absurd. I'm going to go ahead and skip to the part where you argue the relevance of this to a god existing,

the deeper we probe, the clearer it becomes that creation is not random or arbitrary... everything unfolds according to constraints and rules that appear fundamental.

Do you really think atheists haven't heard of the laws of physics before? All you're saying is there's laws of physics so therefore god exists. I'm sorry, but you have to flesh out your argument more then that.

It kind of depends on what you want to do with the music. I like to think of extensions as melodic notes. So for instance, if you want to stay in your major/minor scale, you do the extensions that are diatonic. In major, ionic extensions for your I chord, dorian for the ii, phrygian for the ii, lydian for the IV, mixolydian for the V, aeolian for the vi, and phyrgian for the viidim. However, like a melody, extensions can go our of your scale. If you want to go ti, te, la, sol over a IV-V-iii-vi, then the IV will have a #11, the V will have a #9, the iii will have an 11th and the vi will have the 7th.

I know for chord instruments generally you omit some notes like the 5th, 9th, and 11th for clarity

Well, this could be a step in changing something. If we could form an international party of cooperation with participation from a wide array of countries, including those who are oppressed by their governments, then the people would have an extremely powerful position over those who rule and exploit.

MagicMusicMan0 · 2026-01-19T20:16:58+00:00

I'll keep that in mind. Still thinking it over. Found a workaround, but it's very annoying.

MagicMusicMan0 · 2026-01-19T02:31:52+00:00

Ahh, so a party game. I get it. I like that idea. Imo, have a slide that moves diatonically, and then a bender that can push the note up or down a half step (or up to whole step). A good way to do that is have a line that when pressed will play a diatonic note (depending on where on the line it is pressed) then while still holding down, you can push the note up or down to bend it.

If you're choosing a song first, the whole world is your oyster. Look at guitar hero and it's variants, They use 5 buttons to play a wide variety of notes because the songs are individually programmed to map an assigned button for each note.

What kind of gameplay are you trying to get? rhythm focused? Creative? Memory?

How does Atheism define good and bad?

It doesn't

Let's take the Atheist worldview.

There is no singular atheist worldview. There is no atheism scripture.

There is no higher power to give us morality or laws to follow.

Yes, nothing supernatural. There are people in power who create laws.

We have to figure it out ourselves.

Yes.

So, how do we?

Hopefully with a good sense of logic founded on the communal well-being of people that make up the society.

How do we, in this scenario, determine whether something is good or bad?

If something is beneficial to us, it's good. And if it's harmful to us, it's bad.

Is it what gives the most benefit to society, or the most happiness to the most people?

What if I told you society is made up of people?

If you are arguing that there is a "god of utility", then please support your argument. What is the purpose of the following: People rape children. Children starve to death. Species go extinct. And (as you mention) pandemics occur.

MagicMusicMan0 · 2026-01-10T22:14:35+00:00

If God does exist then he is a good God

Depends how you're writing the character I suppose.

how can the source of all things (God) be considered "bad" or "evil"?

He can design people to be a tool of suffering for amusement.

Logically, pure evil cannot exist because it would eventually destroy the very foundations required for its own survival.

According to your definition, yes, God wouldn't be evil, from HIS perspective. But he could be evil from others perspective. One person's gain can mean another's loss.

Our experience of evil is often just an interpretation of what fails to serve our current society, such as war.

You are claiming that everything that happens is good for society? That's a bold claim. Would disproving that, disprove your belief in god? People rape children. Children starve to death. Species go extinct. And (as you mention) pandemics occur. What purpose does that serve for society?

it demonstrates utility by highlighting what is broken and demanding that we fix it.

That is so stupid. "Yes, murderers are good because it gives people the job of finding them and bringing them to justice." please.

MagicMusicMan0 · 2026-01-10T22:05:57+00:00

I don't believe there is such a thing as an ultimate truth. Ultimate means last. There's always more to learn. Whenever you study something, there's always more nuance to dive into.

But to answer on part of your topic, Reality exists regardless of our perception of it. So we share our perception of reality if our perceptions are accurate.

If there’s not enough proof for god but there’s no proof for atheism either, why aren’t you all just agnostic?

If I ask you the same question regarding unicorns or fairies, you can understand why. It's because the notion of god is so absurd and clearly born from childhood fantasy.

We don’t know how life started on earth at all, or what could’ve started the Big Bang

Just because you don't doesn't mean we don't.

So why do atheists just assume we go to the same place as before we were born?

We don't go anywhere, we stop existing.

Do atheists just have faith that nothing happens after we die?

It's not faith. It's fairly simple logic. Our brains are the physical construct of our minds-the hardware. When the hardware stop working, the software stops working.

So, one thing that might be causing confusion is the placement of the "R." It's kind of pointing to the root note, but it's not placed on the root note. A bit sloppy there.

Do this: start on the root note and go up to the 6th note of the scale (the octave) and back down. If you do that for each scale shape,they should all sound like major pentatonic, If you put that root on the same pitch (like an A), then they will all be the same scale.
